Home & Building Design in Mission, BC

Custom homes, renovations, ALR projects and commercial design for Mission property owners, from our studio in Langley.

Designing in Mission

Mission sits on the hillside above the Fraser River, with river views, rural acreage and established neighbourhoods. We design custom homes, renovations and rural buildings throughout the district.

Sloped sites and rural servicing are common here, so we plan grading, access and septic or well requirements into the design early.

What to know before you design in Mission

Every property is different. These are the local factors that most often shape projects here.

Hillside and view lots

Many Mission lots slope toward the river. Homes are designed to step with the land and capture the view.

Rural servicing

Some rural properties rely on wells and septic systems, which affect where a home can sit on the lot.

Agricultural land

Parts of Mission are in the ALR, with ALC rules for homes and farm buildings.

Mission building design FAQ

Do you design homes on rural properties in Mission?

Yes. We design homes and outbuildings on rural lots and plan around servicing, access and site slope.

Can I build a duplex or multiplex in Mission?

BC's small-scale multi-unit housing rules now allow more homes on many lots that were once limited to a single house, but what your lot allows depends on Mission's zoning, lot size, servicing and site conditions. We review your property before design so you know your options.
